""" Verifier for SPEC.md S4 (announce wire format) and S4.5 (validation rules). Builds an announce via upstream `Destination.announce(send=False)` against a fresh identity, then walks the validation pipeline by hand: 1. Slice the announce body per S4.1, branched on context_flag. 2. Reconstruct signed_data per S4.2 (including the trailing app_data and ratchet pub when present). 3. Verify the Ed25519 signature. 4. Recompute dest_hash = SHA256(name_hash || identity_hash)[:16] and confirm it matches the outer packet header. 5. Confirm random_hash[5:10] is a recent unix-seconds timestamp per S4.1 (corrected) — the upstream Python form, not the microReticulum random-only form. 6. Run upstream RNS.Identity.validate_announce(packet) and confirm it accepts. 7. Tamper with each of: signature, public_key, name_hash, random_hash, ratchet_pub, app_data — and confirm validate_announce rejects each. Exit code 0 on PASS, non-zero on FAIL.
